    nah fuck that shit. there are staff paid to do it and if the store can’t afford that staff they are fucking lying. they have earned this with the price fixing and gouging and I’m not giving them any more of my time than absolutely necessary.

    in addititon when I had that job myself, more often than not people put them away wrong and I had to redo everything. I’ve gotten called to the office more than once because shoppers that put the carts away didn’t lock them somewhere along the stack and the whole thing rolled across the lot and smashed in to someone’s car. Collecting lose carts is way easier than pulling them alll apart and putting them back after finding the two near the middle beginning of the chain and not being able to get them back together without doing it one by one in the stupidly hilly lot.

      I never considered the counter argument: Americans are too stupid to operate shopping carts 😱

      Apparently there is some validity to that.
      But assuming basic human competency that the rest of the world casually exhibits, successfully putting your shopping cart back is a mark of common decency and failure to do so is either a moral failing or a sign that the person should absolutely NOT be allowed to operate a vehicle
